MOON JOY 🌙 On Artemis II, and the tension between what we build and what we destroy - between wonder and war.

The work ahead has never felt more meaningful, and we will carry it forward as she lifts us all up.
Dolly, we will always love you.

Today, under the eclipse, I launched Field Notes for a World on Fire on @Substack.

My first essay: The Last Wild Place in Us, is on surveillance, mystery, and what we lose when nothing is allowed to remain unknown. 🌒

A century ago, an autocrat tried to use the World Cup for his personal glorification. Sound familiar. https://t.co/YO8eOgy5JM

[Dr. Flynn Coleman @FlynnColeman]

It's a love letter to the sport that shaped my life, what it taught me about community, and why authoritarians are always so eager to claim the things we love.

Because belonging remains beyond the reach of even the most powerful autocrats. ⚽️ #WorldCup

[Dr. Flynn Coleman @FlynnColeman]

Long before I began writing about human rights, democracy, & authoritarianism, I was a kid who wanted to play soccer around the world.

So I'm especially excited that my debut for @Slate, and my first soccer byline, arrives as the World Cup opens today.

Once hunted to near extinction, humpback whales are rebounding.

"We've stopped killing them," said wildlife photographer Chris Fallows. "Since the late 1960s, the population that was reduced to just a couple of thousand animals has come back to several hundred thousand animals."

Fallows said the whales give him hope. https://t.co/bguD2PXqyh

In the same week, we returned to the Moon - and counted the dead.

I wrote about what that reveals about us, and what we choose to become.

Huge congratulations to a Hungarian opposition that never surrendered to cynicism, apathy or intimidation. You inspire us all.

HOME.

The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us.

"Copy, moon joy." 🌕✨

The #ArtemisII mission's stunning new images of the moon are making us think about the lunar maps created long before space travel was possible for humankind. This one is by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), often referred to as the founder of lunar topography. 🧵
